Hacking SX OS 2.6.1 Beta released: fix for HDD not recognized and SXOS online license activation

[JBMario]

From Team Xecuter:

We have addressed two (important) regressions in this new 2.6.1 BETA release.

• SXOS Online License Activation
  People who anticipated the 2.6 release for a while but didn't have a valid license on their microSD card yet experienced an issue where they were unable to activate their copy of SX OS. This has been addressed and fixed!
• USB Harddisk support regression
  It turns out that we broke support for USB Harddisks on firmware 7.x during our final iterations of development. This has been corrected, you can all enjoy your external storage again!

Nice hotfix, glad they were able to fix these issues so quickly

Good that everthing is working. Can I use blawar's incógnito without losing sx os activation?

Nice to get a fix quickly, I've still not updated yet as I'm using custom themes - and I can't be bothered to see if they are compatible just yet. But thanks TX.

Thanks TX for this update, everything is working as intended now, hope you get New features soon, enjoying sx os from 2018 and beyond.

I saw someone on fb on switch hacks who updated to 7.0.1 and still has his themes. He's also on sx os.

Nice to see the mods on top of the unnecessary comments by the same users.

Testing sx os 2.6 on 7.0.1 for a day and so far so good most homebrews still works (retro,checkpoint,nxshell,nxmtp,ftp,etc...) only thing that doesn't work was tinfoil and goldleaf but that's because of new keys.

how about lithium and sx installer v1.5, do they work under 2.6.1 please?

I expect this thread to be 15 pages of shit posting by the usual suspects by the time I finish work this afternoon.

Great work tx!
Losing usb hd loading was the only thing keeping me from updating but now I’ll be upgrading once I get home.

 

[Chizko]

Thinking about an update soon, but there is still no need ^^

some people were having issues with v2.6, other people not having issues.

So if possible I guess make a image of your SD card to your PC and then try the update.

@Gizmo yes lithium and new tinfoil works. I was able to install turok using it.

I heard it has support now for reboot to payload just as AMS do, can you just reboot pressing volume keys when the system crashes?

Sadly I haven't tried it and I'm at work right now.

Which are the keys you need to press? I will give it a try
Nevermind, that's not working, tried it crashing retroarch and just got the original crash screen, pressing vol key did nothing.
